Director Stefano Sollima made Romanzo Criminale and Gomorra into unmissable television events. Now he returns to the big screen with a swaggering, fast-paced thriller steeped in the crime and corruption at the heart of modern Rome. In 2011, the Eternal City is rocked by the abdication of Pope Benedict. As torrential rains threaten to burst the banks of the Tiber, the many indiscretions of politician Filippo Malgradi (Favino) draw him into the web of terrorist-turned-crime boss Samurai (Amendola) in a bravura swirl of drug deals, lucrative municipal contracts, turf wars, betrayal, death and dishonour.
